N396 — Dunkerque to Oostende

Belgium · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry

N396 runs 6 miles between Dunkerque and Oostende. We counted 64 corners along it, which works out at 10.7 a mile — flowing bends rather than hairpins. It runs past the coast, a nature reserve, a river and open water. That is calmer than two thirds of the roads we have measured in Belgium, where the median is 26.5 a mile.

Ridden together with N288 and N529 it makes about 12 more miles of the same kind of road.

How we measured it

Corner counts come from the road's own geometry in OpenStreetMap, not from ratings or votes. Every bend above a threshold of curvature is counted once, so two roads can be compared directly. Nothing here is crowdsourced and nobody paid to appear.
